The Coachella message board is probably the funniest thing on the internet right now. The announcement is late, some radio station was supposed to drop it today and didn't, and the users are apparently having epileptic seizures while simultaneously developing Tourette's Syndrome. Absolute hilarity.

The Thermals - 2009 Tour Dates Jan 31 - The Bell House, Brooklyn, NYC Feb 3 - The Cluny Newcastle * Feb 4 - ABC Glasgow * Feb 5 - Ritz Manchester * Feb 6 - Ritz Manchester * Feb 7 - The Shakespeare Sheffield * Feb 8 - St Georges Hall Bradford * Feb 9 - The Lexington London * Feb 10 - Heaven London * March - SXSW April - US Tour Summer - festivals in Europe & the USwww.brooklynvegan.com/archives/2009/01/the_thermals_20.htmlI think it's realistic to add The Thermals to the rumors. The Mountain Goats have all east coast dates up until April. Of the current popular LA bands (No Age, Abe Vigoda, Mika Miko, Crystal Antlers) I'd be really surprised to see more than two, if even more than one, playing, and I really think Abe Vigoda is likely. All these bands are relentless tourers and emerging talents; we'll see.

And is there a precedent to Sonic Youth playing a US festival? Has to be, right? As they'll be back from overseas, and as that'd be great, I'd like to introduce the completely self-fabricated but ideal potential of Boston Spaceships/pre-headliner/Sonic Youth.
That's just my personal wish, though.

It would be phenomenal if they could snag Tom Waits for a performance.
i also think they should go out of their way to get Daniel Johnston there.

Sonic Youth and The Mountain Goats... I can totally get behind those.
The Thermals, no big surprise. Good band, but nothing to get terribly thrilled about; they're not exactly hard to see in the northwest. As far as a lineup announcement is concerned, I'd line them up next to Blitzen Trapper or Cave Singers: All bands I'd love to see, but I won't be working up a sweat over them.
But Sonic Youth, hot damn.

I guess everyone on here must be from seattle or washington because I don't see any other way these people could get stoked on Pear Jam? Pearl Jam is lame especially considering this isn't 1992'. And kings of leon I want to see a rock n roll show not a yuppie jam fest with parents who drive there range rovers down to stand around with their kids in a baby bjorn. Mines well have dave Matthew's and coldplay. I went last year and got to see cedric from the mars volta throw a cymbal and fan into the audience. Once I saw that theres no going back they better spice up this line up. Animal collective would be amazing even though they are very hit or miss live. mgmt would good. arcade fire would be classic, franz ferdinan would be good. hell even bring back the hives.

Pearl Jam is an amazing live band, I'm also from Montana not WA. So to you, because it's not 1992, Pearl Jam are irrelevant? So why did the Cure, REM, and Flaming Lips headline last year? Why did the Beastie Boys and Bjork headline the year before? These acts, PJ included, still put out great music and because they have a name people know, can headline. Coachella had Prince and Roger Waters last year and Paul McCartney this year. You're logic of who headliners should be or who is on the line up seems a bit flawed. Every band that can sell out the Gorge has pretty much existed for over ten years. The only exception so far I would say is the Arcade Fire. A LOT of people left after they played in 07. If Arcade Fire headline I wouldn't be surprised at all, but due to lack of new music, it's doubtful.

Could be about the most outrageous post I've seen. I can agree that to each his own in regards to music, but to say Pearl Jam isn't relevant in today's music scene is blasphemy. Try picking up something they released after Ten and get back to me. Pearl Jam is probably one of the top 10 live acts in music right now.

This is my first post here but I really enjoy seeing what people are saying and I can't wait for this year. I just wanted to pass along that after looking at Wilco's touring schedule they will be out of the country the time of Sasquatch. This is too bad because they are an awesome live band.
Having Pearl Jam and Kings of Leon there would be awesome, especially with one following the other.

Pearl Jam is lame especially considering this isn't 1992'. You didn't hear? I thought this was common knowledge by now? Sasquatch is having a theme Saturday called, "This IS 1992." I'm not sure if they will keep the word "is" capitalized, but the lineup IS as follows: Main Stage: Pearl Jam / Queen with Paul Rodgers / House of Pain / Hammer / TC (without the L) / Spin Doctors / Arrested Development / Bobby Brown (sponsored by Coca-Cola) / Color Me Badd Wookie Stage: Boys II Men / En Vogue / Sir Mixx-A-Lot / Shabba Ranks / Mr. Big / Christopher Cross (Kris Kross canceled) / Shai / Vanessa Williams Yeti Stage: Right Said Fred / C + C Music Factory / CeCe Peniston (a back to back of C C, I say Si Si) / Sophie B. Hawkings / Eric B. & Rakim / Wreckx-N-Effect / John Secada Special acoustic sets to be held throughout the day at the three main shitters by Richard Marx, Billy Ray Cyrus, and The Heights featuring Jamie Walters. The main stage will be hosted by America's Funniest Videos staple, Bob Saget. The Wookie will be hosted by Mike Tyson (keep him away from Vanessa Williams, eh? And those gals from En Vogue, yikes), and the Wookie will be hosted by Ross Perot. They've got tee-shirts made and everything. Try doing a bit of fucking research before spouting off some some ignorant crap like that.

I never said pearl jam is "irrelevant" I just saying there are plenty new bands who would be better playing this venue. And to bring up R.E.M doesn't matter at all because I dont care for them and didn't want to see them last year. I just think pearl jam had its time along with saved by the bell and Oasis.

Hey bluesborn, thats fine if you don't care for Pearl Jam and what not, and you've got the right to that opinion (even though I disagree)......but you're right about that post from knowidyuh......it is awesome!!! I for one am praying they don't say No Doubt will be there.

Okay this is who I would like to see/could definitely see playing:
Wolf Parade, Fleet Foxes, Menomena, The Dodos (please God), Animal Collective, KOL, Blind Pilot, Blitzen Trapper, DeVotchka, Fruit Bats, The Hives?, MGMT?, Born Ruffians?, Noah & The Whale, maybe something like Slightly Stoopid. If The Strokes came my life would be complete.

I posted some bands I'd like to see this year, back on the first page a while ago. Not sure if any of those bands will be on the bill, but I'd also like to add: Backyard Babies. These guys are from Sweden and are awesome, if you like rocking bluesy punk.
